Following is the full text of Xiaojie HUANG’s speech on the forum.

I am very appreciated this opportunity to be able to communicate with all of you.

I have realized the following two laws after looking at the participant list. 1. state-owned financial institutions have more financial resources, but the private investors have few. 2. Among the participants, most of them are from banks. It’s also the structural problems---most companies in investment sector are state-owned and indirect institutions.

I think equity investment can play its role in solving the problem:

1. The decision mechanism of equity investors and market-oriented and consistent with many SMEs, so we can communicate with them better;

2. Most funds have been regarded as equity capital while investing and we plan to usher the invested companies in capital markets;

3. Our investment activates are connected. Our abilities of management and risk control can be improved and we can well communicate with banks. After we invested in a Sichuan company, it got a 40 million yuan of unsecured loan from banks, which was unimaginable;

4. We are flexible and insist on long-term investment and value-added services.
